Katech's newest project: 2006 Z06 upgrade (updated 01.05.06) This is a Katech customer's 2006 Z06 with 12 miles on it. It has not even been dealer prepped. We are pulling the engine, adding a few goodies, dyno tuning, reinstalling, then probably chassis dyno.
So far on the upgrade list:
Katech forged pistons 11.4:1CR then valve reliefs are cut so around 11.0:1
Camshaft
Tuning
I will keep updating this thread for all you guys with the latest pictures.
Enjoy

Am I seeing what appears to be a pneumatic butterfly type valve in two of the tail pipes? Is that for noise reduction under part throttle its closed or something?

Nice! Couple questions: What will you be using to tune it? And are you going to put on Long Tube headers? Will you have before & after dyno #'s to report (that would be awesome)!

Hopefully HP tuners will have something ready by the time its being tuned.
Headers are undecided right now.
I will report the dyno numbers for you. I'm not sure if we're going to do the baseline though.
I have some other exciting horsepower news to report on a modified LS7. I'm hoping to post about that topic today also. Keep your eyes peeled for that.

Hmmm.. This exciting news wouldn't happen to be regarding RWHP numbers starting with 6xx would it?
